Best part of the movie. Is the music. Lol 😊

⁠bullshit reply, great movie great song

Agree 💯

@@kathybarry835 nah, the movie sucked

Not just because of the movie though, more because of their amazing racks.

About time!

❤

Felt very bashful when that joke came up lol

What do you even mean? This song is in so many movies… it’s only noticed when it’s in a popular movie that people killed to watch :/ Thanks Barbie? ❤

It's one of my all-time favorite songs.

No lie. I loved this song when it came out when I was in college and it sounds AMAZING still ❤

It definitely has a throwback 60s vibe. Well done!

It's the opposite of hyperbole. It's understatement.

Agreed

WOW! ☀️!

Your comment brought tears to my eyes. I feel you. ❤

I love stories like this, thank you for sharing ❤

🥹

Aw that’s so special, and fitting that it was Barbie’s driving song 😌

I was just about to comment the same!

Lordy, I'm not sure we can prepare for that, lol! :)

Yep. All of the top comments will say "Barbie brought me here." And "Thanks Barbie for introducing me to this gem." And then everyone who already knew this song before Barbie will be defensively and proudly declaring their superior fandom status lmao.

​@@AdelineCowgirl Nailed it

😎🤘🏼

That is so great to hear ! Thank You!

They were already big in early 90s! First big song/album was 87. I fell in love with them in the 80s! Amazing they went to your grandmas old age home!

I'm not crying...you're crying

You didn't say big deal,to her, did you?😳

An egotistic musician, performing at a retirement home, said "Does anyone here know who I am?" An elderly lady in the front row said "No, dear. But if you go to the nursing station, they can help you."

I wouldn't mind Ryan gosling randomly popping up from my backseat , I mean He's Ryan gosling 😅🤭

@@cosplayandmusicfreak8795 Oh I agree... but it's still startling tho

@@dante340 ya lol 😅

Did he bring at least his roller blades with him?

😂😂😂🥰🥰🥰

I never knew this, but I googled and they know each other from elementary school!!! What are the chances?!

I had this happen ONE time in my life and I stupidly quit singing after. It's like dropping fast in an elevator....you wanna stop and say something, but you'd lose the moment. Then you both smile as you're singing.....cuz you know you're knocking it out of the park. Talent is a mix of perspiration and being in the right place at the right time. Yet, I've met people on the street who could out-perform the best popular artists out there. Some things just are the way they are........

An odd couple of sorts, my friend and I met 20 years ago at karaoke. I'm a white male he's a black male. He heard me sing, I heard him sing, and somehow we decided to start making "duets" out of hard rock songs. We would come up with ridiculous harmonies that weren't in the original songs and people went nuts!!! We both were students of music, so we understood keys and scales, and we just fed off each other... No performance was ever the same, we just improvised...

@@danielleoconnell7513 They were meant to be

Magic... That's how It feels ❤

Word. The line slammed into me when I heard it. I relate to it a little too much.

Very relatable! I keep my blanket of fear around me. It has become my ship of safety. I won't sink it.

Exactly

You forgot the cherry on top of those lyrics, and that's: "I'm crawling on your shores" at the end. It completely gives hope to an otherwise hopeless statement. I feel sad for anyone who would want to "live by" the lyrics you mentioned without the entire line.

I like " Well darkness has a hunger that's insatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear" ❤ 🙏

Thats my favorite verse too.

It's life and life only - Bob Dylan

you missed the point

yes

Agreed 💗💗💗💗

Not sure if 13 years old or thinks this song is 13 years old 🤔

It fits so perfectly, just like everything in the movie 🩷🩷🩷

​@withastone Or has been searching for it for 13 years?

My daughter did not know this song. So glad it was in the Barbie movie so she could experience it!

​@@lkav1313i was born in 1984 so I had no idea what it was. Was it even famous in 1989? Maybe just in America?

I would have loved Lilith Fair tbh

Yes! I'd forgotten about some of these artists. Off to listen to Melissa and Natalie and Nora... Thanks for the brilliant list! :)

@@kristina.5453 My pleasure. Enjoy.

Tori amos, desiree, erykah badu, sinead oconnor!

Fiona apple too

I agree! 💖

It really is

Insanely, ridiculously, even criminally underrated by so many!

Not even the best song on the album.

Exhibit A: “Well, darkness has a hunger that’s insatiable”.

These two also did some collaborative work with R.E.M.

@@elmdixon Me too!

The irony is that by the time we realize it, it's too late.

Darkness has a hunger that's insatiable and lightness has a call that's hard to hear. You're exactly right.

..."twice as cloudy as I'd been the night before, and I went in seeking clarity..."

Same

My experience with this song was very similar! I also was cooing with all the bullying & homophobia (got called a Dyke when I was F-12 years old). My dad actually introduced me to this song and it’s something that not only makes me feel connected to him, but also to myself. I’ve been a fan of this song since before I even knew I was gay, and it’s gotten me through so many stages in my life! Might have started happy crying when I saw Barbie singing along to this song for the first time. Not to mention, I only had Barbies as a kid, Ken’s were beneath me, and my Barbies would date & get married constantly. In ✨hetrospect✨, I think that was a bit of a clue 🔎 😂🌈

What’s wrong with going to a Christian college?

​@nateboy123 I suspect quite a lot, when you're a young, repressed, confused lesbian.

@@IcePrincessWHN why would a lesbian go to a Christian college in the first place (no disrespect or anything. I’m just wondering)?

@nateboy123 many reasons. Most likely is family pressure. My first thought would be that they were raised in a sheltered Christian household and told they could only go to a Christian college or no college at all.

clearly you have never heard the anthem of the soviet union

It certainly is up there. It is one of those songs that holds up 30+ years later (Christ that makes me feel old).

@@shaunabraham2799 oh please, you must be joking, bootlicker. 🙄

Uh hello, penny whistle?

It has helped me judge myself less harshly for decades.

2023 now and it never sounded better. These women made magic. 👏

That’s the truth

2023 now

Your comment, made me cry as well. Such an earnest and beautiful comment, like you

Right there with you.

Y'all need a friend in the car to sing this with you. ❤

Yeah, that feeling when you have your degree and can leave the university and actually do things.

One of my favorite lines of all time.

I remember them fir the old days when I had so many dreams and so much hope. I realuze in some ways I have changed the world in my own way. I love this song ! Keep being your true self because you reallybdo matter and your voice deserves to be heard as much as this song does!

Sorry I can not see well I can spell.

+Mary H Me too!

I'm sorry

I wonder just how many people they, and this song especially, have helped pulled back from the brink of despair. I was one. And I need them again now, during COVID19 (/20). We love you girls! And we thank you.

These ladies saved my life and they don't know it. Awesome indigo girls.

@Big Bubba How? How did Cheers do it for you? Was it the back and forth between Sam and Diane? Was it the theme song? Or did you just enjoy bars, and as such, enjoyed a show about a bar? Genuinely curious.

So true.

Yep Sultans of Swing 1978. I don't invoke God though.

This song shook me to the core and put everything into perspective for me in 1995 or so. I had let go of the beliefs I had been born into and was exploring meaning. This song was such a comfort. Now, it is an old treasured friend, bringing a tear to my eye. I can remember who I was and feel the journey I have been on. The Indigo Girls music has been such a gift.

I know- I was about 18 when this song came out, just starting college. I wish I could go back to that year and change a few things.

rocky mountain high had that effect on me...

Oops sorry it was released in 1989…

watching during 2020 riots and covid19

Me

Me ...... covid 19, lockdown, riots.... happy to listen to the wonderful indigo girls 😊

I just saw them on the TODAY show this morning and here I am.

Andrea Dragonfly from f

"Let it be" is really the central theme of the song. As in, "There are going to be a ton of unsolved mysteries, and each one may have more than one solution, so don't dig too deeply."

I like that part too

TUNA!

Actually, I went to REM's song " It's the end of the world as we know it ".

No more acapella, please, Andy.

Yes and an annoying killjoy woman kept trying to stifle the moment

TUNA! are you kidding me?

indeed!

I'm walk the same journey now, also inspired by this song.

Soooooo sorry for your loss. 💔

Sending you and your mom love and blessings🌟💖🌟

Thank you.

So awesome you were able to experience that with her.

Love. Them

The best

32 years and counting now...

Me too 🎉

Yeah. The 20 years since the 90s have really kicked my ass. Not that I was particularly happy back then, either. But I had a lot of hope for turning things around once I got the hell out of Dodge. And the fact is, I was still a better version of myself than now. However, mental health treatment back then was very primitive compared to today (if you can pay! - which, the one great blessing I have, is I can). And I couldn't really start to get better until the last few years or so.

@@squamish4244 No shit, man

Stephen Moleski totally understand....me too ...

ouch

That version is still inside of you. You know what you need to do to get back there. But because you are still alive, you've got the chance for redemption. Go for it

As a guy who worked in psych hospitals for my first 20 years of adult life, before becoming a teacher (for another 20 years now), I would suggest that you quit firing therapists. Yes, there are a lot of mediocre ones out there, but chances are, at least one of them was a good one. My experience has been that the more right they are, the less you like them. In your case it is your own perception of everything that is drastically colored by powerful emotions, making you think that things are true that are not. You must learn to trust a close circle of friends (yes, they are the people who have tried to tell you this). You must trust them more than your own perception. You must learn to catch yourself before launching into emotional overdrive tirades.

@@Logan-wv8qf you're the first thumbs down I've ever given. Apparently you don't like to listen to other people's truth. Many times too much of this contributes to a disorder. The black and white of it all. Therapists stop listening to their clients, if ever they did in the first place. They start listening to other doctors and forget, completely about listening to the person that is affected most by them. I really wonder sometimes who is actually f*****d up? A person gets up the nerve to finally fire a crappy therapist and someone, without knowing the circumstances and thinking they have some authority, throws an absolute at it. Maybe you should listen to the music and stop judging. If the music isn't therapeutic for you.... Maybe you should go get some therapy!!!! Stop ruining it for other people... Dick!!!!! Get it straight!!!!!!

You have the right and responsibility to do that for yourself. I'm glad you did. I hope you're doing well and respecting yourself. ✌️😎

@@Raven-yj5pp Wow, ok then. Hey I’m just offering 25 years of experience with many, many, people experiencing bi-polar disorder. I will try to break it down for you, with compassion. Maybe you will be able to help someone. Being bi-polar means having “changing brain chemistry.” All of our perceptions of the world are based on that brain chemistry (which for most of us is “non-changing.” If I am bi-polar, and my brain chemistry begins to change, the change is so subtle that I will not be aware of the change. That means my perception of everything and everyone around me is quietly, subtly changing too (without my awareness). My judgement is changing, without my awareness. I will not notice my slowly increasing change in perception and slow loss of judgement. It will all look normal to me. My family and friends will begin to see the changes first. They are seeing my degraded judgement in my attitudes and actions, from outside of me. If they can catch me and connect me with treatment early enough, with help, I can get medication to bring my brain chemistry back to the normal range. Left unchecked, my perception and judgement begins to rapidly erode and I become increasingly irrational, with no awareness of my loss of judgement. This could have potentially disastrous social, relationship, financial and even legal consequences. I see many bi-polar people in prison, connected to things they did while their judgement was gone. That’s why having a therapist and friends and family, who will tell you what you need to hear, and insist that you take action immediately, is critical, whether you want to hear it or not. As my judgement erodes, l will have a tendency to reject therapists and/or family and friends who are giving me honest and important feedback about how I am actually degrading in judgement (as they can see it in my increasing hostility and rejection of feedback).As I lose more judgement, I will become increasingly angry, and hostile, with anyone who tries to give me feedback that disagrees with my “altered perception.” Eventually, as my brain chemistry continues to shift, I completely lose touch with reality, possibly leading to a forced hospitalization (5150), or possibly an arrest. There you go, 25 years experience, no charge, friend.

@@Logan-wv8qf I'm not doing this right now. I have way more than 25 years of experience. But if you can't just enjoy the music f*** off . It's just music. Can you let anyone anyone enjoy it or do you have to flex your narcissistic muscles??????? Just so you know... Last Dance said Borderline, not bipolar..... Just goes to show how much you people, that think you have some sort of authority, can f*** it all up by not listening. You proved my point. Now... F*** off!!!!! Dick

@Ryan Powell you gotta admit that the indigo girls slap

@Ryan Powell yo why u mad

Thank you for posting the lyrics ☺️

They aren't mere mortals!

amen! XD

I agree. I think this song was written by Amy. Emily has written a song in the same (rare) category: Gallileo. How long til my soul get's it right/Has any human being achieved that kind of light?/I call on the resting soul of Gallileo/King of nigh-vision, king of insight

@@hectorlp1298 Emily wrote this.

Glad I'm not the only one! Hahha

it's more like: Tuunaah! are you kidding me??

Precisely why I'm here!

Yep! Same here...LoL

Andy, ANDY....no a capella, okay?

Why just women? I'm a hetrosexual male in my 60s and I've been listening and enjoying them for 30 years!

I swear songwriters are guided by something bigger than themselves.

"The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mystical. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom the emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand wrapped in awe, is as good as dead -his eyes are closed. - Albert Einstein

Damn, I always thought the line was "And lightness has a calm that's hard to hear".

We're on the same page.

marcmarc1967 in the larger scheme of life that could very well be......

Listen to Chris Williamson and see how you like her.

I'm also 11 and love Indigo Girls so much!
